There you have it. With three USB-A ports, you can definitely get more mileage from your Steam Deck with the dock included. Also new for the specs is the specification of an Ethernet port, and Valve has now clarified via the included diagram that this one will support Gigabit Ethernet.
While the specs themselves are very good, it’s still up in the air just how popular the dock will be as the Steam Deck is picking up primarily as a handheld gaming device.
In case you missed it, Steam recently suspended dev payments to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Check it out here.
